关于盖茨及微软问题,就是盖茨他妈到底干嘛的:参考《Fire in the Valley(硅谷之火)》杂志与《Big Blues(蓝色巨人)》杂志对时任IBM 个人pc项目负责人的Don Estridge的采访。另外一片综合文章《THE RISE OF DOS: HOW MICROSOFT GOT THE IBM PC OS CONTRACT》里也有详细写过微软获得ibm订单的过程。其中有一段原文是:Acrding to Fire in the Valley, he also reportedly told Gates that when IBM CEO John Opel heard Microsoft would get the ntract, he said “Oh is that Mary Gates' boy's pany?“ since Opel and Bill Gates' mother served together on the national board of the United Way.
